Anybody done a whole rear brake replacement? How much did it take? DIY?

Just bought a Magna 2003 TL ES. The hand brakes didn't work at all so I thought I'd adjust it, but discovered that the adjustment level (inside the brake drums) are crumbling becuase of rust. The car was from Port Lincoln. Any experience suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

In short you need to remove the callipers, rotors, hubs and then handbrake assy, when you get your parts from a wreck (must be TL or W) you will need to get the lot so may as well get the backing plate with it

Hi Mate, Is there a way of just removing the hose on the caliper and taking the whole thing out without having to remove each and every part?

Thanks. Appreciate it.

That would mean more work later in bleeding etc, just remove the calliper, is 2 bolts. Then the hub has 4 bolts from behind not much of a big deal really
